Another addition to the Forge World Horus Heresy Character Series today with Lord Commander Eidolon of the Emperors Children! With jetpack and gleaming silver and purple armour he is quite the striking figure on the battlefield…

“Lord Commander Eidolon was the pre-eminent commander of the Emperor’s Children. An exemplar of the Legion, he embodied the perfection sought by the sons of Fulgrim.

His arrogance and search for perfection led him to the ministrations of Chief Apothecary Fabius in his quest to ‘improve’ upon the designs of the Emperor of Mankind.”

Eidolon is armed with his archaeotech pistol and a mastercrafted thunder-hammer that looks fairly cruel as far as hammers go. I like that it carries over that eagle design from the rest of his armour, descending from the skies to smash his enemies to smithereens.

He also comes with alternative heads allowing you to have him with a helmet or just the bare head you see above. I think I’d go for the bare head just so you can see the contempt on his face.

What do you think of him?

"Eidolon is armed with his archaeotech pistol and a mastercrafted thunder-hammer that looks fairly cruel as far as hammers go..."

What an arrogant p(&*$ he is, think i’ll have to grab him for my allied Emps Children. Really torn on the helmet and head though. I don’t like the part bald and part long hair but then i can see how it suits him.

I’m still reading Legion which is I think book 6 or 7 so I haven’t seen the transformation of many of the characters yet.

I think so far in the books that I have read the main characters who have been transformed drastically are the Emperors Children, as well as some elements of the Death Guard (like the ones who were brought back to life on the Eisenstein).

I have to be honest and say that although I appreciate what Abnett was going for, I’m not massively enjoying Legion so far.
